The riots among the Poles Of Detroit,
!Mlcnigan. showed on the part OF the po.
Iice much forhearance and on the part
OF the rioters the ferocity Of Wild beasts.

isioners adhered TO the deposed pfiest
hut others supported his successor.
This has divided the people into nc.
tions. It would be delightful to these
factions to be permitted to attack each
other, but the pleasure which this would
afford them would be - nothing In com
parison with the Joy that, united, they
would find in beating and bruisine thu
police. On last Saturday and Monday
there were battles between the riotere
and the police. In which the latter
showed much bravery and self-control.
They were attacked both in the front
and in the rear by the Poles, who inthe
Sunday fight, showersd stones upon
them like hail. The police fought With
their clubs and several times fred their
revolvers in the air. By this means
they succeeded in keeping the two fac
tions apart.
It would be ablessed thing for the
peace and order Of Detroit II everv Pole
in the city would leave it forever. It.
almost seems that 1t would be proper to
allow thetwo factions to come together
and fight until they become tired and
worn out. Another excellent method Of
dealing with scoundrels such as the
Poles of Detroit would be to 0len FIRE
upon their mobs with gatllng guns.
The guns should be so numerous and
should be placed so close together that
they would sweep the street. In that
way the street would be cleared in q
very short time. A club is too mild q
weapon to be used on such fellows.
The above article from the Republf.
can. which is the organ of the thieving
classes of Denver, shows the real spirit
that animates the capitalist classes not
only Of Denver but of every other city.
Bear in mind that the Law does not
justify the use Of gatling guns even in q
riot. Under the LAW the police have no
right to fire upon a crowd. If q riot oc
ours the sheriff, mayor or governor muss
proclaim them and give them time to
disperse. Ifthey fail to do so posse
comltatus must be called out by the
sheriff and only when this is insufficient
to deal with the revolt shall the state
troops be called upon. And when these
are called out, even then, if they FIRE
upon the pei pie and shed blood except
in case of the dirsst necessity and for
self defense. they are guilty Of MURDER.
This is the COMMON LAW and no courts
in England or America have ever held
the law to be otherwise.
The rascals of the capitalist press
who are endeavoring to mis.state the
law and urge the thieving classes and
their armed and bludgeoned bullies on,
to the murder of the American people.
had best take warning. Let the law be
administered as it is and they may hope
for peace.
But If the ruling classes are the first
to break over the barriers and trample
ORDER in the dust, then they must not
expect the SLAVES to respect it in their
turn.
Let the capitalist classes remember
that he who takes up the sword shall
perish BY the sword.
